Expected Behavior

journal entry file stays, or journal entry is written - seems it just rid my entry completely

Repro Steps

only happened once

Debug output

--

Other Information

I care less about the modulenotfounderror than the discarded journal entry - cause the error happened only once, but the lost entry corrodes my trust a bit
